Ther has been a recent spate of articles concerning diesel engines.
There are a couple of reasonsd. The first reason is the mandatory introduction of Ultra Low Sulphur diesel fuel. This will enable the making of diesel engines that are as clean as gas engines.
Diesels are inherently more effcient than gas engines.
I believe that Daimler/Chrysler will be offerfing diesels in the Durango
and their new Calibre. D/C may be using VW - TDI diesels (Turbo Direct Injection).
When the public is free of old myths about diesels, such as
loudness, acceleration, smellyness, starting, etc,
and begin noticeing the MPG on diesels, they will want the mileage.
